Tuchel assesses Gallagher's tough fight for minutes
13 Aug 2022
Ahead of our return to Stamford Bridge this weekend and the visit of
London rivals Tottenham, Thomas Tuchel has been discussing the fierce
competition among his central midfielders and his hopes for Callum
Hudson-Odoi to reach his potential…

The Chelsea head coach has been busy preparing his players for a tough
test against Antonio Conte's side, who came from behind to beat
Southampton 4-1 on the opening weekend. The Blues, meanwhile, ground out a
1-0 win at Everton with N'Golo Kante and Jorginho starting in the heart of
midfield, the latter scoring the game's only goal from the penalty spot.
With Mateo Kovacic ruled out this weekend with a troublesome knee injury,
there could be the opportunity for more midfield minutes for Conor
Gallagher, who made his senior debut for the club as a substitute at
Goodison Park and is hopeful of breaking into the starting team this term
following a successful season on loan at Crystal Palace.

Tuchel believes the future is bright for the Chelsea Academy graduate,
though he concedes the battle for minutes at a top club will inevitably
have its ups and downs.
“蓋拉格在為中場位置而戰，坦白說這對他來說是一場艱難的戰鬥，因為目前我
們在那裡只有兩個名額。考慮到我們在那個位置上擁有的球員數量，這有點不公平。”
“這並不理想，但我們必須做對球隊最有利的事情，而不僅僅是考慮對每名球員
都最好的情況。這是關於陣型和如何使用每一名球員的，我們還沒有100%完成這點，
但目前他絕對沒有問題。”
Gallagher featured throughout pre-season, particularly with Kante absent
from our USA tour, and was clearly chuffed at finally running out for his
boyhood Blues last weekend, with the travelling contingent even singing
his name.
The 22-year-old made 43 appearances in all competitions last term and
Tuchel believes he has the potential to become just as big a player in
blue as he was at Palace if he keeps on showing the same hunger, desire
and belief.
“我是蓋拉格的忠實球迷，首先他有著非常棒的為人，我們都知道這一點。在訓
練的最初幾週，他展示了在得到那麼多上場時間後所取得的進步，展示了他在球場上
的個性。然後在一開始一些非常棒的訓練之後，現在他的狀態和能量有些下滑，他有
點不好受，但這是在發展中一個非常正常的情況。”
“然後在場上，他需要與坎特、若日尼奧和科瓦西奇進行激烈的競爭，那幾名球
員互相之間已經適應了，但這也是像在切爾西這樣的大俱樂部你要經歷的事情。一切
都處於正確的情況，我們對蓋拉格很滿意，他在繼續戰鬥，這就是他所做的事情，我
認為他有能力在接下來的幾年裡，成為切爾西一名非常重要的球員。”
There continues to be plenty of speculation about potential incomings and
outgoings at Stamford Bridge, with Marc Cucurella the most recent through
the door in a move from Brighton & Hove Albion last week.

Tuchel admitted the club were still pursuing other options to bolster the
squad and that one new arrival could provide invaluable guidance to
another of his younger prodigies.
“總體而言，我們沒有要出售球員，但所有球員也都不是非賣品。這最終取決於
球員想要什麼、球員有多渴望，這也取決於我們的想法，以及準備引進球員的俱樂部
要付出多少轉會費，從這個角度來說，每名球員都是可出售的。”
“哈德森奧多伊在競爭，他有長期的傷病，也有長期的問題需要克服，我認為他
想發揮潛力還有很長的路要走，因為他的潛力巨大。擁有斯特林可能會給他額外的推
動，讓他能夠看到，在這樣的位置上他要怎樣才能達到我們想要的水平。目前他是我
們的球員，他需要去不斷戰鬥。”
